Just got back from a weekend at Peak Gateway we had 3 pitches (3 caravans) it was my friends first time caravanning and was nice and easy to find and get to. The site was absolutely brilliant the manager was pleasant and helpful and showed us to our pitches where we pitched in like a square amongst the trees and put the table and chairs in the middle super.
The children’s play area is now completed and all the kids loved it and played there safely until late.
Shop sold newspapers sweets and essentials cafe was good and did a great breakfast eat in or takeaway.
Toilets and showers were ok tokens for showers were readily available from the bar when the shop was shut only 25p.
Found on the last day that there was another toilet block at the edge of the camping field witch was handy.
My wife was talking to the manager and he was telling her there were plans for an indoor swimming pool and a minimarket and we think he said an indoor play area which would obviously make a great site even better.
Brilliant and can’t wait to go again.
Oh nearly forgot I apologise to anyone we disturbed as we were laughing and enjoying ourselves into the early hours and did not realize it was so late but we did call it a night when asked by the manager only sorry we had to be asked but we had just lost track of time as we were enjoying ourselves so much so please accept my apology if you were there as I would not like to cause distress or ruin anyone’s weekend. :) Monty

We have just returned today July 10th on our maiden voyage with new caravan.
Peak Gateway came reccomended to us, now I know why.
It's a lovely big site with lots of space. Yes there are lots of caravans, but while we were there, there were also 2 motorbike rallies going on!! So it was extremely busy.
Saying this i never had to wait for a shower.
There is a lot of potential for this site and you can see the new owners are just finding their feet, this time next year I expect it will be one of the better camp sites in the area.
We paid £13.50 per night to pitch with hook-up which i thought was fine.
A kids play area will be a good addition, and I understand this is planned for later this year.
The cafe is now open and serving a nice selection of meals at average pub prices. There is also a snack bar that opens at 6:30 to sell chips hot dogs & burgers.
All in all a good weekend and we paln to return in August.

Having visited this site several times last year we were wondering what changes had been made by new management. New access roads and statics are the first thing you notice, then the new office and shop, cafe & bar,all ok up to now. Then you get the big surprise...minimum two night stay and £16.50 a night big jump or what? Ok, so facilities are ok and maybe ok price for peak, but off peak?

Peak gateway is an apt and well chosen name for this site. Just south of Ashborne, off the A52 it is very easy to find, and as the name suggests it is at the gateway to the Derbyshire peak district.
The site is under new ownership since the beginning of this year (2005), and there is significant evidence of investment into the site. Though I think it would be safe to say that the new owners are still finding their feet.
The site is currently biased towards caravans, and with the recent addition of a number of new static mobile homes, it would appear that caravanners are more their chosen market.
We camped over the 'Whit weekend' at the end of May, and the field was unmown, probably for a number of weeks. This was obviously their first very busy weekend of the year, and although the tent field was nowehere near to capacity (with regards to the number of tents in the field), the facilities on the site were stretched. Shower tokens were very thin on the ground and the hot and cold water system failed on a couple of occasions due to excessive demand on the system. This said, there is only 1 shower block with limited toilet facilities. A portacabin / site toilet was added to the site, down towards the tent field, but was lacking in the ladies toilet facilities.
There is a very small shop on site, which mainly caters for snack food (crisps, chocolate bars). There were no camping supplies, or general foodstuffs, like milk, available, but with Ashborne only a couple of miles away, you could get what you need (during shopping hours!) if you have transport.
The site also had quite a bit of onsite entertainment, which may well suit some people, but it wasn't really our group's cup of tea. This was generally in the clubhouse, which also has an onsite bar and a small cafe.
Overall, the site has huge potential, and if the current owners can stick it out this year, and spend money on a few essentials (revamp the showers / toilet block), it could be quite a nice little site. Unfortunately, our opinion was tainted by the poorly prepared field and inadequate plumbing / shower token rationing.

This campsite is “under new management”, and new to managing a campsite they are! There are plenty of signs of investment in the site, but as a camper they seem to have missed the point. Concentrating all improvements in the caravan areas and not even mowing the camping field.
Collecting water was an interesting task as access to nearest tap involved a scramble over 3 foot “earthworks”.
They completely failed to keep up over the busy bank holiday weekend; waste bins overflowing. Even the water tanks for the main toilet / shower block ran dry, so showers or flushing toilets.
The toilets were relatively clean, but as demand on the limited numbers was high, they could have benefited from being serviced more often. The Gents achieving an impressive 5 foot high, paper towel sculpture.
As for the showers, apparently they are operated by a small golden token, (25p for 6 minutes). But these little token are rarer that rocking horse s***.
They had brought in an additional “portakabin” toilet block, sited near the camping field. In this the Gents got a generous 3 urinals, 3 toilets and 3 wash basins. The Ladies had to make do with a single toilet / wash basin in the same cubical, without even a lock on the door. (Toilet paper, ladies, you must be joking.)
We did not use the on site bar or entertainment, but can vouch that it goes on late into the night and the bass can be heard thought-out the camp site.
There is also a tuck shop, but they have missed the opportunity of selling the camping essentials, to provide chocolate and ice cream to the children.
In summary, campers should avoid busy times, or leave it a couple of years until they have the teething problems sorted.

We've been here 5 times so far. First in a tent then we upgraded to a caravan. We like the way you could pitch anywhwere you wanted. The shop sold a few basic things like milk, tea, sugar, sweets, bacon and eggs, if you ran out. Toilets were basic but clean and flush so that's all that's needed. Didn't try the showers but I had a nose. I used the washing machine and tumble dryer on one occasion which was helpful.
Friendly staff is on hand to help (when I thought I'd broke the washing machine!!)
Good site, will be going back this year, that's for sure.

This was our first site ever visited and we have returned many times,The site is very clean and tidy and has a excellent atmosphere. The facilities are very good and are maybe a little dated but are always clean. Our kids (7 & 3) always seem happy even without there being a play area. There always seems plenty of room to pitch without being crowded and is a good base for exploring the area. Definately worth a visit.

Went to gateway for short weekend on the 6th,7th,and 8th of aug 2004. The weather was brill, just before the monsoon week. The toilets and showers are very basic but clean.
There is a tv room next to the bar and there is large club room at the weekends (high season only).
A small shop is there as well, where the staff were pleasant and helpful.
I did`nt see a park for the kids though, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Following our visit to this site we were a little dissapointed, The main reason for this was the conditoin of the toilets and showers, these are in need of refurbishing, however the site its self was in a good location and the staff were very helpful.

Have bee to Gateway many times and it was the first caravan site we ever tried in sept 2003 , the staff are very helpful toilets/showers always seem clean , the pub on site is a nice touch but it can get a little noisey when entertainment is on and sometimes the kids on site seem to run a bit wild around other peoples caravans , we do like gateway though it is a nice break there, and theres lots of nearby attractions like carsington water and nice resturants in Ashbourne as well.

We visited Gateway during October, just as the trees were changing colour, as part of Ant's Birthday Bash, Uk Camp Site Meet. What a lovely quiet site with good amenities. This was indeed a very good site with plenty of space between the caravans/tents. A bit chilly at this time of year but we soon warmed up in the very cosy bar!

Our first camping trip, we booked a few days earlier and was welcomed on site with our option to pitch our tent where we liked. Smallshop on site that I felt could be open after 8pm but soon discovered if you asked at the bar the staff would nip next door and get what you needed, my 2 kids had ice creams at 9pm. Toilet block & wash rooms good never came upon having to wait to use them, play room for the kids, if anything it lacked an outdoor play area.
Would visit again dispite a day of constant rain.

May bank holiday 2004
Well we've just returned from Gateway today and I must say how impressed with the site we all were. OK the showers and toilets may need a little sprucing up, but they were cleaned regularly by Ashbournes answer to Robbie Williams (check out his singing), and all the staff from the reception to the bar staff were friendly and polite.
Overall a very relaxing 3 days and would definately make the short trip from Derby up the A52 again.

Very pleasant site, clean toilets and showers, however you do have to pay for the showers. Grass pitches and hard standing. Nice bar. There is a function room that is used for parties and can be a bit noisy but would stay again.

Easter 2004
Although our stay was cut short due to poorly kids, we still had a great time. The site was smaller than I thought it would be, but they had all the facilities we wanted. We were greeted very well all information about what was going on on site was given to us and we were directed as to where to pitch our tent. Plenty of room to pitch and to put the trailer. The toilets and showers were clean. They even have disabled toilets. (although the ground is uneven and it would be hard going to push a wheelchair but never the less) The shop was very basic not much variety but did stock essentials in case. They have a games room with pool table and table tennis etc for kids. Then there is the bar and function room with entertainment, which was excellent. Good value for money this site.
